Comments:
This is a relatively new introduction of copper plant to the trade. lIt is grown primarily for its attractive lance-shaped green leaves with pink margins. It makes a great container plant for the patio or terrace so the foliage can be viewed up close during the summer months. Provide direct sunlight for several hours during the day and a well drained soil
